Yesterday was an exciting day for our friend, Paulette!  Paulette has made a huge life change by leaving the comfort of the U.S. for La Paz.  Already she is shaking her head and wondering if she did the right thing. It will take a while, just like it takes all of us. Mexico can be a foreign country, a very foreign country!

Paulette drove us to dinner last night and her son, Gage, and I were saying things like "yes, it's a stop but that doesn't mean you have to stop", or "don't dawdle, keep the car moving"!  No one knows more than I how frustrating and difficult the driving can be here.  I've only been driving here for eighteen months and I'm just starting to get it.  Almost every time that Steve drove, my knuckles turned white and now I chuckle when I glance over and see that my passenger's fists are balled up and their knuckles look like mine used to!  Ha! Payback!

A new adventure is always exciting and we hope that Paulette's is a wonderful new chapter in her book of life.

Welcome Home Paulette!
